Default Finally! Score one for Ford

Okay, this may not be the best TOTY review, but its realistic with some good real world scenarios, it's also not all hung up on fuel economy like some other reviews "cough cough", and of course it's a win for the F-150! Enjoy!

Actually, GearheadGeek posted another positive review yesterday, from Car and Driver mag.

Here is the link to it

That was from October though, not sure how that was brought back up yesterday.

Thanks for posting that video! i like watching the offroad part through the mud with the f150! it really was making the axles go through the motions. I thought it looked great going through the mud really! I have no idea how MT left this thing out to dry like that. Its 360 cam, and just the whole package is top notch. i want a KR in white with 360 cam. Ill take a 5.0 v8 just to try one out too!

I like how they mentioned there is not a whole lot of difference in size between the canyon and the silvardo, and if they would have brought a smaller truck to market it could have been a real game changer. This was a great all around review unlike the motor trend review.

Did they redesign something on the intake of the turbo to allow the plate in the center now? There was picks of a guard/caribou KR on a lot and I noticed the plate in the center on that too. Can't believe I missed that change in all the lurking I've done here for the past 2 months?!?!

That canyon parked next to the powerwagon showed how big it really is. Yeah it was 6 inches lower at the mirrors but It looks full size 1500 to me all day.

It really is a big truck, probably why it doesn't get any better fuel economy than a full size.

It is published for the first time in print in Car and Driver's January issue, which is how I came across it.

Yes, vanes and fascia/grill/bumper reconfigurations permit adequate airflow around the center plate location.
